Eight grandchildren also survive. He was predeceased by 1 daughter who died in infancy. Bro. Weber's life and service was a rich boon to the church that he so faithfully served. He was known as a kind, patient, faithful and loyal servant of God. He will be missed, his helpful counsel will be missed, but we mutually rejoice in the fullness of his life, and his usefulness well nigh to the close of his life. Bro. Weber served the First Mennonite Church as Deacon for 30 years. He was Secretary of the Mennonite Mission Board for 25 years, Treasurer of the Bible School Board for a number of years, Member of the Deacons' Welfare Board. Bro. Weber during his lifetime held many more positions of trust. A loving tribute of respect was rendered Bro. Weber by his fellow deacons, ministers, and bishops, some fifty, who rose when his body was carried into the church building, then viewed the body first, and proceeded together to the cemetery, where they sang, "Blest be the tie that binds." The funeral services were in charge of the pastor, Bro. C. F. Derstine, and associate minister, Bro. Merle Shantz, conducted at First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, Ont.

On Tuesday evening of last week there passed away to rest, a life-long resident of this community, in the person of Mr. James Pirie. Some six years ago Mr. Pirie suffered a paralytic stroke which left him an invalid and unable to resume his former occupation. Mr. Pirie was a man of outstanding, upright character, whose friendly smile and kind words at all times endeared him to those who came in contact with him. He was an Elder in Chalmer's church here for many years, and when able was a faithful Sunday School teacher.

He leaves to mourn their loss, one son, John, who is now in Toronto, Mrs. Wm. Sherriffs, Jr., Mrs. Well Snyder, Mrs. William Mitchell and Mrs. Hugh Woods, all residing near Winterbourne.

The funeral took place from the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Hugh Woods, where he had resided of late years, to the winterbourne Cemetery, on Sunday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. A. M. Hamilton, his former Pastor.

Notes:

SUICIDE AT WINTERBOURNE

Mrs. James Pirie Takes Her Life With A Razor

A general gloom has been cast over the community in and around the village of Winterbourne, by one of the most sorrowful occurrences that ever happened in the neighborhood. About 4 p.m. on Saturday, Mrs. James Pirie committed suicide, by cutting her throat with a razor in the root cellar of their own barn. The deceased had undergone an operation some time ago at the Guelph Hospital and her condition was such as to necessitate another operation being performed in the immediate future. This had such a defecting effect upon the mind of Mrs. Pirie, as to render her despondent, she preferring to end her existence in the manner she did, to suffering another operation. The deceased lady was 54 years of age and has long been a highly respected member of the Presbyterian Church. The bereaved husband and family have the most sincere sympathy of the community. The funeral took place at 10 a.m., Monday.
